How Rabbit Lost His Tail: A Traditional Cherokee Legend

32 pp. | New Mexico | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8263-3010-X $$14.95
(3) K-3 Grandmother Stories series. Illustrated by Murv Jacob. In this entertaining retelling, Rabbit is dismayed when all the other animals admire Otter's shiny coat, because he's so vain about his own long, furry tail. He hatches a plan to steal Otter's coat, but the plan goes awry, and Rabbit forfeits his elegant tail. The fairly long and sophisticated text is complemented by a handsome book design, which features detailed white-on-black illustrations.
